XG 162 - Deal zero damage to the zombies
Lee Su-Hwa was coaxing Yuna to control her crayon version of her parents and dog, but the three crayon figures remained unmoving.
Wong Xue Guo had heard that each crayon figure could hide one person in its body and it could take on any attacks without injury. Many concluded that the crayon parents' and dog's usage were to protect a person from any harm, the ability likely to be influenced by Yuna's heart that sought protection from her parents when she got bitten by a zombie.
"Yuna, can you have your mom and dad throw those monsters far, far away so that Yuna and everyone would be safe?" Lee Su-Hwa suggested.
Someone beside them had heard their conversation and suggested, "Why not let her grab that guy first?"
Lee Su-Hwa immediately caught on and started another round of coaxing. "Yuna dear, come, we need your help to rescue that poor uncle..."
Wong Xue Guo did not stay around to see if Yuna did help that guy or not, not intending to stand aside and watch without contributing anything.
When she first arrived, she had already sensed eyes on her as some of the guards greeted her with a brief nod. The curious eyes questioned who she was and what was she doing here. Especially so when Nana and Smoker followed a step behind her, indirectly placing her in the commanding position.
Unlike the researchers that knew her identity just from her face alone, not all guards and survivors in the base knew about her.
She could just imagine what they would think about her, especially after they saw what her ability was. Some would definitely assume she had hidden her 'white' hair under her dark shadow!
Then the scorn would get worse after seeing her shadow deal zero damage to the zombies.
If she was not allowed to cross the gates to fight the zombies, Wong Xue Guo does not know what else she can do to help. Anyway, just treat it as teasing the zombies with her shadow, before ending the show with bullets.
She chose to test her ability beside Do Eunhyuk, who had taken over a tower guard where he can shoot comfortably from above without worrying that his bullets would not reach the crowd of zombies. It was also the closest tower to the gate. Do Euhyuk gotten the most appreciative, envious and full of dependence gazes from others as his bullets were endless, without even needing cooling down time.
Activating her shadow, she spread it as wide as she could, not having much hope about the result. Doing this was just so to prove that she had indeed 'tried' so that her promise to Chin Chun would be fulfilled.
It was good news that her shadow was not strongly affected by sunlight, only that the colour was a shade lighter and needed a little bit more energy from her to maintain its form. The agility was about the same, including the length.
The sun was setting and there were more shadows around, so her 163 cm width shadow, also Wong Xue Guo's height, could get a wider reach with the help of the other shadows. She had never tried to force herself to use her ability beyond the limit, other than testing Mr Rabbit for the first time, so she was not sure if she could forcefully lengthen her shadow if she did not use other shadows as a launching board.
Her mother had said that in the future, there were rumours that some Awaken people have mutated abilities, but no one could prove if that person really had a mutated ability.
Mutation and various ways of using their ability were too close to divide which was which.
Her shadow molested every surface it touched, but she did not receive any feedback from it. It felt like her shadow was not her extended arm, but more like something added to her that she could control.
